Week 3 Day 14

The two units successfully took data last night in the copy room, thankfully,  so we will begin compiling the data.  It looks like we had a significant spike in the VOC at around 10pm, so it will be interesting to compare the two and see exactly what happened.   We are going to hold off on monitoring the next location until next Monday due to presentations tomorrow.   Most of today will be spent polishing up our material for the aforementioned presentation.  We will also spend some time cleaning up the lit review and clarifying exactly what we pulled from each article.  


Here are some screen shots of the two data sets from yesterday and today.  Notice the jump in VOC on each.  First is our prototype, second is the graywolf.

 




Last thought of the day, I found an interesting article on controlling airborne bacterial populations with the use of a pulsating UV-Light. Its application was in a University lecture hall, but the idea could be applied to any place where there is a large congregation of students.  This concept could be applied to all ventilation systems that feed into classroom, cafeterias or gymnasiums, all of which are breeding grounds for biological contaminants.
